“Checkmate Jernan.”

Woooahhhhhhhh

“Did I make her cry again?”

She ran away after her defeat. It had been a long game lasting several hours of fighting on the board, but in the end with my cheat key called Lena, there was no chance for me to lose.


It was already 2 am by the time our game finished so Viezda and I quickly went to sleep in order to be ready for tomorrow.

I woke early the next day and spoke to Viezda caringly.

“Today we will try something adventurous, listen carefully to the plan.”

“Okay”

After describing my scheme in detail, we headed straight into the outer perimeters of the forest. We caught 5 horned rabbits to warm up and to allowed Viezda to build up some confidence. Unexpectedly she also gained a level and so we were ready to move on to the deeper regions of the forest.

“Get ready!”

She nodded back, tightly gripping the small wand in her hand. Before us lay four goblins feasting on the corpse of a horned rabbit which I had left as bait.

Sneaking up on them I slash them lightly with my dagger.

‘Success! I managed not to kill them.’

Kiiee?

Kieeek

Kieeeeei

The goblins scowled at my surprise appearance and chased be down with their clubs.

Boong!

The closest goblin swung his club my way, but I quickly ducked. When we were about two meters apart I turned towards Viezda and instructed her.

“Now!”

“Essence of Fire, rain fury down on thy enemies. Fireball!”

Wharrr Quang!

I tried to roll away to avoid being hit by the aftermath of such a powerful spell that it could hardly be called fireball.

“Viezda! You are so cool!”

She was in shock, trembling.

“What’s wrong?”

“I hurt master! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

“What are you talking about, I rolled away and dodged most of it. Didn’t you see me spring back up from the floor just now? I’m fine.”

“But still it’s my faulting for harming master due to my inability to properly my control my strength. I don’t want to use magic again!”

“How could I get angry over such a light injury. Being an adventurer is inherently a dangerous profession. Also, it’s my fault for not properly judging your firepower. Viezda, in the fututre don’t be burdened by your power and use it freely. Oh! Sorry sorry!”

“Such an order… that’s too much master! Waaah!”

Although I hadn’t intended my last words as a command, I didn’t cancel it because I knew that it would be necessary for her to develop a stable mindset.

“Was that your strongest attack?”

“No, I was trying to weaken it as much as possible.”

I was quite excited that even her weakest fireball was capable of injuring me. That meant that her firepower was extraordinary, hardly what could be considered as a regular fireball.
